Co-Operative connects with Concrete Kids
I was very pleased to attend an event last Thursday at Berners Hall Farm, the Co-Operative farm near Chipping Ongar, Essex to see children from both a local primary school as well as a London school help them pass the landmark of 5,500 children to visit Co-Operative farms as part of their 'Farm to Fork' project. We took a film crew along for the day to capture the action and footage will be released shortly. Activities included; seeing shire horses ploughing alongside a 6m Vaderstad drill sowing peas, hunting for earthworms, making pizzas from the farm's flour and making smoothies as part of a healthy eating lesson. The kids had a great time, as did all the big kids too! My thanks to Sarah, Karen and the rest of the Co-Op team for all their hard work in creating fantastic opportunities for all those children.
